Lifelong Nurse Reveals Personal Truths Her Patients Never Knew

Clisham’s Charlotte takes us from her two-room birth home in Canada, for her parents and three siblings, along the peaks and valleys of her tumultuous life. Charlotte allows us into her journey through the cycle of violence. Her revelations about pain, knives and guns are not fantasy fiction. She shares how love and hate can co-exist.

“I picked it up to read a few pages to see what it was like, what it was about. I could not put it down. Riveting, powerful and so honest.” – Margaret Key, RN

“Charlotte’s story may be the only way to heal the wounds of abuse and tell us something about the longing, loneliness, and lust of human nature. There is no burial ground for sexual suffering. Somehow it has a devastating, desolating effect and sometimes seems to be the baggage we take with us wherever we are. The fact that she never wants to be a “victim” is like the climax of a titanic psychodrama. How much those limping and lacerated in life, unhealed, untreated and unnamed need to hear her cry of triumph!” – Glenn J. Kuhnel, PhD
